Stewy those pictures are unbelieveable! I remember the '77 D.C. show like it was yesterday! Piper had finished and the house lights were on. While the roadies set up Angel's gear the anticipation and excitement building in the crowd could be cut with a knife. After the entire backline was set the roadies began bringing out cube-size boxes/flight cases. Each box had a clear glass door on the front and black sides. The bottom one (on wheels) was set in place and then they would stack five or six more on top of it. They did this repeatedly until there were five stacks lining the front of the stage. So the entire time we could see inside the stack of boxes (which of course were empty) and underneath them as well (as they were on wheels). We had absolutely no clue what was in store for us. After a few more minutes the house lights dropped, the crowd roared and the hologram backdrop lit up. It boomed at us (lips moving and eyes blinking) that after God created the Earth he realized that he needed the sweet sound of music! So He knew He needed the sound of a singer so on the 8th day He created... Frank Dimino! At that moment the interior of Frank's stack of boxes got completely illuminated to find Frank standing inside!!! The crowd went nuts as Frank stepped out. This was done for each guy as a way of introducing them and taking the stage. As we could see underneath the bottom box there was no hole in the stage that they came up out of and those boxes were absolutely empty until each guy was introduced and the lights came on and they were standing inside! After all five were introduced they blasted into The Tower! I'm sure it's an old magic trick of some sort but to this day I swear I have no freaking clue how they did it. A few years ago I bugged Punky a dozen or two times asking him about it but he'd always say "Mum's the word"! If anyone has the Angel Radio Special promo best of double album, the exact introductions used in that live show are on it. Oh, someone please take me back to that night so I could see that show again!
